Too late to plant some autoflowers?

[rum.n.yoohoo]

Im in the northern illinois area and was looking for some expert opinions on whether or not it is too late to plant some autoflowers outside. All of my experience is with indoor and lost that ability so now its time to go outside. Thanks in advance.

Of course not! They are germed to harvest in 75 days!!

Thinking (outside) harvest more like early / mid october.
N. Ill.? Have some stakes and big baggies or clear drop cloths handy for covering in case the nights get to be a concern towards the end.
You'll be fine.
I've some clones about 3 weeks in.
When I see the ones outside start to bud these are going out too.
Probably up to another month before that though. Plenty of time under the fl. to crop, etc. for low / wide / and "tons of tops".

Awesome thanks! Gonna germ some seeds shortly and get my space situated. Looking forward to enjoying some fruit from the sun.

I have grown auto flowers, still have some cooking away. But if your new to the greater outdoors I would go to Nirvana and buy some Ak48's. The reason being is auto's can be a pain to grow, and the Ak's will finish early, or finish early so your yield will be nicer, and the plants are easier to grow. You are going to love growing outside, just a couple of things to keep in mind. Bugs, yep there are a lot of em, dirt, you need it, the better the better your plants will be. But the best part "FREE LIGHT", and as much of it as you need. Hey good luck, roundplanet

I actually have two ak48s and one ak47, along with some diesel ryders and auto blueberry(gonna save these until I can get back to what i really know). What do you think about growing in a boggy area? Im thinking it will be like hydroponics just worried there wont be enough oxygen getting to the roots.

Dont grow in bogs we have plenty of good open spots. "If" I had plants they would be planted in a prairie with good soil and be 5-6 feet right now haha

One of my spots, my White Widow patch (12 plants) is in a boggy spot, on a river's shore, just behind the reeds. What I like about that spot is I dug a nice big hole too pull buckets of water from. Contrary to what you may be thinking, at least where I am at the bogs will dry up, and when they do they do fast. Bugs are a problem as well, but can be delt with. The thing I like the best about boggy growing is how hard it is to get to, unless you are willing (as a hiker, or tourist) to get good and muddy people just don't get there. Remember to Ph the grow area, my spot tends to the acid side, so I needed a little lime. Hey good luck I hope it works out for ya, roundplanet.
